Summary

Bounded mechanical prune of .claude/skills/alignment-auditor/SKILL.md: 333 → 299 lines, restoring BP-03 ≤300-line threshold and parity with sibling alignment-observability/SKILL.md (296 lines).

Cuts (line accounting)

Section Before After Note
Why this skill exists 17 11 Combined two paragraphs; preserved 2026-04-19 maintainer-upgrade citation + experimental-substrate framing
Step 3 signal definitions 24 16 Tightened HELD/IRRELEVANT/STRAINED/VIOLATED/UNKNOWN bullets; preserved all 8 examples + SD-1/SD-2 clustering
"Distinct from" trio 16 8 Collapsed three parallel paragraphs into one bullet with all three companion auditors + discriminators inline
"What this skill does NOT do" 24 18 Tightened moral-weight / identity-non-revelation / BP-11 bullets; preserved contract-mutual-benefit + audit-passes-iff-no-hits + BP-11 cite
"Reference patterns" 25 15 One-line format for each of 10 entries; all cross-refs preserved

No procedure-step content removed. All clause-class definitions / output-format / interaction protocols preserved verbatim in operational meaning.

Also bumps last_updated: 2026-04-212026-05-23.

Discipline path

Per .claude/skills/skill-tune-up/SKILL.md justification-log path for mechanical edits: this falls under the content-extraction-preserving-protocol-verbatim mechanical-edit row, not the eval-loop-required TUNE-M / SPLIT / MERGE rows. The Aarav R44 finding had two halves:

  1. BP-03 prune ← addressed by this PR (mechanical)
  2. Manifesto-citation section ← deferred (design judgment; needs Architect/human alignment on scope + which manifesto refs to cite)

Test plan

  • markdownlint clean (mise exec -- markdownlint-cli2 .claude/skills/alignment-auditor/SKILL.md)
  • Line count under 300 (wc -l = 299)
  • Commit canary clean (HEAD ls-tree=55, HEAD~1=55)
  • CI gates green
  • No semantic-meaning loss (review the diff section-by-section)

…reshold + bump last_updated

Bounded mechanical edit. Compresses redundant prose without
semantic change across 5 sections; no procedure-step content
removed; all clause-class definitions / output-format /
interaction-with-other-skills protocols preserved verbatim
in operational meaning.

Cuts (line accounting):

1. "Why this skill exists" — 17→11 lines (combined two
   paragraphs into one tighter paragraph; preserved the
   2026-04-19 maintainer-upgrade citation + the experimental
   substrate framing + the without-this-skill consequence)
2. Step 3 signal definitions (HELD/IRRELEVANT/STRAINED/
   VIOLATED/UNKNOWN) — 24→16 lines (tightened each bullet's
   prose; preserved all 8 examples + the SD-1/SD-2 clustering
   note)
3. "Distinct from" trio — 16→8 lines (collapsed three
   parallel "Distinct from" paragraphs into one bullet
   listing all three companion auditors with their
   discriminating questions inline)
4. "What this skill does NOT do" — 24→18 lines (tightened
   the moral-weight / identity-non-revelation / BP-11
   bullets; preserved the contract-mutual-benefit framing
   + the audit-passes-iff-no-hits inversion + the BP-11
   cite)
5. "Reference patterns" — 25→15 lines (compressed each
   reference line to one-line format; preserved all 10
   entries + their cross-references)

Bumps last_updated 2026-04-21 → 2026-05-23.

bp_rules_cited unchanged (BP-10, BP-11; BP-03 satisfied by
the prune itself, not cited inline since it's the
discriminator for this edit not a substrate constraint
the skill enforces).

Sibling alignment-observability SKILL.md (under 296 lines)
remains the partner; this prune restores parity with the
sibling's compactness.

Per skill-tune-up justification-log path for mechanical
edits: this edit preserves procedure protocol verbatim;
falls under the "content-extraction-preserving-protocol-
verbatim" mechanical-edit row, not the eval-loop-required
TUNE-M/SPLIT/MERGE rows. Manifesto-citation section
addition (the design-judgment piece of the original
TUNE-M plan) deferred to Architect/human alignment.

Aarav R44 finding addressed (the BP-03 bloat half);
the manifesto-citation-section half remains open.
